very nice and informative presentation shared by you,I also have a very nice post about how we earn money and what are the ways to earning money online read this post here : http://makemoneyfromwebsite.wordpress.com/2013/11/01/how-to-make-money-from-a-website/

The red bars show how well each niche performs in terms of monthly revenue, while the blue bars show how each niche performs when you come to selling. For example - we can see that websites in the home Niche tend to earn $100 – red line on the top axis – and they tend to sell for $700 – the blue line read off the bottom axisAs we can see here, websites in the Gaming, Business, Internet Services and Internet Marketing niches tend to outperform the market by way of monthly revenue.You can add Hobbies, Technology, Home and Entertainment niches to this list of high performers if you want to beat the market sale price.It is interesting to note that Internet Marketing sites are good short term revenue earners but they tend to struggle when it comes to selling. I’d put that down to the large number of MMO sites in this nicheAs you can see, websites in the Internet Services niche perform strongly in terms of both capital and revenue yield but its worth bearing in mind they have a higher cost base by their very nature of being mainly a service.Outside of these, Gaming looks to be an attractive niche. Owners of these sites are getting a solid revenue stream each month while at the same time getting strong capital growth when they go to sell. By far the biggest types of sites in this Nitch are game reviews, sites that are games, and gambling sites – and each hold their own.Its worth noting that websites in the Gaming niche were also the only ones to see increases in both capital and revenue in 2012 over 2011. Remember the total market was flat and negative in these.Let’s see how they’re all doing in terms of traffic …

This time the blue line shows how much traffic sites in these niches are getting, while the purple line shows how good they are and converting this traffic into revenue.Looking at the Home niche again – the blue line tells us they tend to get about 1,500 uniques (off the bottom axis) but earns over 4 cents per user (off the top axis)As you can see, both Gaming and Entertainment sites, and to a lesser extent Technology, tend to perform strongly in terms of attracting traffic but don’t do a great job of extracting revenue from this traffic.We’ll again ignore Internet Services as an outlier but we can immediately see that websites about Internet Marketing or more general Business sites tend to be above average at attracting traffic, while also beating the market when it comes to monetizing this traffic – the benefit of being in niches that are inherently commercial in nature. Enough theory – lets look how one of these might look in the wild.

As you can imagine, there is an extreme longtail of how site owners build out their sites. I mean, how many of you have heard of XXXXX?For those that use the major players we have here, we can see Wordpress clearly dominates – it has actually grown in terms of 2012 share since 2011.Beyond that, in order of transaction volume, we see Joomla, vBulletin, Drupal, Blogger, tumblr and Pligg.Now lets see how these different platforms are working for their owners.

So let’s go.We’re seeing the median site revenue yield as being $133 which is down on last year by 12%We’re seeing median monthly uniques as being around 2,000 per month. This is also down on last year but this time by as much as 38%.This suggests that on the whole its getting harder to maintain the traffic and revenues for most sites. On a brighter note, we’re seeing most site owners get better at monetizing what traffic remains as revenue per unique user is now at around 4 cents per month – up 15% on the previous year. So site owners are doing something right.We can also see the median sale price holding steady at just under $500. Again, note that this is a median so half our sales are over this.The sale price holding steady despite the lower revenues means we’ve seen a big upturn in sales multiples with the median now being at 8 times monthly revenue – up by 20%.&lt;PAUSE&gt;These are the main stats we’ll be looking at for the next few slides. You’ll see that these results vary a lot as we look at different nitches and monetizations.Does this make you feel better about some of your less awesome sites?Well hopefully this profile gives you some perspective – its been a tough year. I don’t know many site owners who’ve not had some major setbacks from events like Google’s panda updates.Outside of that, we’re seeing most sites sold being build on a standard CMS such as Wordpress, Joomla, or DrupalFinally, we see that most sites have a single monetization method – as in just affiliate marketing, just display ads, or just ecommerce. Which I found surprising.

OK – so we’re pretty well at the end of things today.We’ve look at what an average market site profile looks like then saw how this can be beaten depending on the Niche, Site Type and Monetization method that you use.Hopefully you’ve been able to keep up and you have a few good gems to apply to your own sites.Before we jump into questions, let’s recap on a few of the key take-outs …

In terms of the average site profile – we’ve seen a general decline in revenue yields and traffic volumes for most websites. This has been offset by site owners being more effective in monetizing the remaining traffic which has meant the median sales prices have not really moved year on year.In looking at Niches, we saw that websites dealing with Finance, Business, Home, Entertainment, Gaming and Family niches tended to outperform the market in terms of both monthly revenue yield as well as final sale price.Then, in looking at which site types were doing well, we could see that review sites are seeing a bit of a second wind happen.Looking at monetization methods, websites relying solely on advertising revenue are seeing massive drops in value with respect to both monthly revenue yield as well as sale price. Fortunately for attendees here, we’re seeing a much rosier picture on the affiliate network front.Finally on platforms, we see the continued growth of wordpressbut my pick for the platform to keep an eye on this year will be Tumblr.If you have no plans for your next site, you could do worse than build a gaming app review site on Tumblr monetized via an affiliate program like Link Share ;-)

I hope you’ve all taken a lot out of this session.Before I open it up for questions I’d let you know our contact details – feel free to contact me or any of the other guys at Flippa if you’re interested in anything beyond what we covered today.Thank-you.
